It's really not, and I certainly don't think the duck mask is any better. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Lightning win a cup in their current look, these teams will never look different from each other again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I figured out that the logo looks best in Yellow, even though it isn't one of their primary colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan33 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Seeing the "duck-print" in eggplant and jade makes the current logo look like a masterpiece. It just isn't working in those colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...I know it doesn't get a lot of love around here, but tweaking the colors on the webbed-D made me realize that the current colors are about as optimal as anyone is likely to get.

It just isn't working in those colours. The main portion of the logo needs to be a light colour for it to work. Preferably something close to an actual duck foot, which the current gold barely manages. In this case eggplant and jade don't really fit the bill (well, foot) and it feels forced whenever I see this application. The yellow kind of works, but it was only an accent on the duck mask and seeing it so dominant on the primary logo would be jarring, unless yellow was added to the old palette and worked into the striping which isn't really ideal.

hockey week Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 If it has to be a light color, preferably one in the old color scheme, what about gray/silver for the duck foot? I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, there was a concept that was posted here once, taking inspiration from the old Anaheim script third and simplifying the colour scheme to purple, black, and white. The logo had the duck foot in white, and that looked quite sharp. I'd be all for that direction. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. While the gold used in the current logo isn't great (its too dark IMO), I felt compelled to include it in my mockup in an attempt to bridge their current and past looks. However, I'm not convinced that eggplant and jade can't work in the design. After looking at the webbed D for a while I've come to the conclusion that its just too busy. For a seemingly "simple" design the webbed-D uses five colors ( ! ) without any clear reasoning behind their usage. Why is orange relegated to a single accent stripe? Why is there silver for the exterior border but white for the border around the D? In light of this observation I thought I'd take another stab at my original mockup. I scrapped the black, white, and silver/grey and focused entirely on the eggplant, jade, and gold color palette. The end result reminds me very much of the old Arizona Diamondbacks...and I kinda like it. As a bonus I made a second version that swapped out the gold for a burnt orange. I'm not as satisfied with this color scheme, but I think it could be an interesting direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
